Innovative Biorefinery Processes for Agri-Food Value Chains provides detailed information on biorefinery concepts and technologies and their applications in agri-food value chains. It covers various topics related to biorefinery, such as biomass feedstocks, conversion technologies, product recovery, and economic and environmental sustainability.
Divided into five sections, the first one brings the definitions and fundamental information of agri-food biorefinery. The second section explores biomass for agri-food biorefinery. Section three deals with technological aspects of biorefinery, while Section four brings Novel value chains using renewable biomass for food biorefinery and bioproducts, and Section five presents the environmental and social aspects of biorefinery.
The book also includes case studies and examples of successful biorefinery projects from around the world.
Edited by a team of experts in the field, this book is a great resource for researchers, academics, industry professionals, policymakers, and graduate and post-graduate students working in the fields of food science and technology, agriculture, and sustainable development.
